in Honor of our Military

Memorial Day 2012

faithful

sitting, waiting, protecting

& feeding

 two little ones peek out of their safe nest

sitting on the side of the nest looking

at the big world

& just like that..

they take tender steps

& then flight &

just like that

they're gone

thank you for having your home

under our pergola

we loved watching

the whole miracle

from building the nest

to flying away

be safe &

come back next time

i miss you
